the palestinians basically put all their eggs in obama's baskets. there is no basket anymore. >> so if you're negative and pessimistic about the president, what about prime minister netanyahu? he's just been reelected, but cobbled together a coalition government. is there any hope in a less perhaps hawkish team that he might be able to be encouraged to enter some kind of discussion? >> martin, this is a very fragile coalition. the priorities are domestic politics and the iranian threat. prime minister netanyahu -- i'm being blunt -- is more interested in creating facts on the ground and creating settlements on the ground than cansling out the possibility of a palestinian state. he's already won against the president. why so the prime minister and his fragile coalition engage in peace talks whereby they do nonwant to stop settlements? i would argue in the next four years, the term of the next president obama, hardly anything will take place on the peace process. >> that's very discourages fawaz georges, thank you for joining us. we'll be right back.
